The last Saab that preferred leaded fuel were the V4's, as they don't have hardened valve seats (at least not as shipped...) > Do the turbos require Optimax? If that's an octane rating, probably not - the turbo control systems (depending on what year, but they all do) will back the boost and/or timing down until there isn't knock. No worries. You will, however, most likely see better performance with higher octane fuels. > Do the engines require conversion to unleaded? Nope, all of the inline-4 engines are unleaded-ready. Dave Hinz
